One should always look analytically at any information obtained from any source and consider when the source was created, who provided the information, how reliable they may have been, etc. That includes sources such as: Grandma vital records court records tombstones county histories compiled genealogies and anything else that may “contain information.” It’s great to be glad that you located a document or source, but don’t let that joy of finding something to cause you to fail to analyze it and contemplate its accuracy. Failing to think about a source because we are excited is a good way to build brick walls.
